Dutch Target Tug

Postby hrtpaul » Thu Oct 25, 2018 7:17 pm

She's done. Another 1/72 Airfix Spitfire MkIX done as a Dutch target tug. This aircraft crashed on June 4, 1957. There's a few mistakes and definitely not a competiton winner but I'm happy with it. Looks cool in the cabinet with the other 2 civvie Spits. Now onto a USN aggressor F-16 :D :D :D

Nice work Paul, a very striking scheme!

Where do you dig these colour schemes up from?

Looks awesome mate - very kick ass paint scheme. I like you're style saying it's definitely a competition winner! :D

Ray I happened to be searching for something and saw a 1/144 set of Mk IX decals by JBr Decals. I went looking for them in 1/72 and there they were :D :D :D
